Hey there, young gardener! 🌱 Today, we’re going to learn about how to change one kind of measurement into another. Specifically, we’re talking about grams and fluid ounces.
You may have heard of grams before. They are a way to measure weight, just like you measure how heavy a plant or a bag of soil is. A fluid ounce, on the other hand, is a way to measure how much liquid there is, like water you might use to water your plants!
Now, here’s the fun part: when you want to change 100 grams of something into fluid ounces, you need to know what you’re measuring. That’s because different liquids have different weights. For example, water is about the most common liquid people measure.
To make this easy, here’s how we can do the calculation for water:
- First, we know that 1 gram of water is about 0.0353 fluid ounces.
So, to find out how many fluid ounces are in 100 grams of water, we can multiply:
$$100 \text{ grams} \times 0.0353 \text{ fluid ounces/gram} = 3.53 \text{ fluid ounces}$$
This tells us that 100 grams of water is about 3.53 fluid ounces! 💧
Here are 7 objects that weigh 100 grams and are exactly equal to that measurement:
- A medium-sized tomato 🍅
- A small apple 🍏
- A quarter of a cup of sugar 🍬
- A typical large egg 🥚
- A medium-sized sponge 🧽
- A large paperclip 📎
- A small bag of flour 🥣
Next time you’re watering your plants, you can think about how much water you’re using, whether it’s in grams or fluid ounces! Keep up the great gardening! 🌼
